Look at our Lainey! That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s almost a smile! We were overjoyed to receive updated information and new pictures from her orphanage today! Our agency received the information and sent it to us via email. We had been hoping for an update since the agency asked for one back on 11\/5. Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s email included the above picture, another close up of her lip repair, and also a photo of the hemangioma on her back\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.which is so tiny, it looks like a pink freckle. There was more detailed information about her cleft palate, apparently the cleft is on the left side only. We also received development information and measurements, including head and chest! Here are the details\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
She can walk.<\/p>\n
She is still on the bottle.<\/p>\n
She has 11 teeth.<\/p>\n
She can say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mama\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dada\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (wonder if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been working on that??)<\/p>\n
Her personality is active and extroverted, but sometimes she is a bit fussy. :)<\/p>\n
She is closest to her caretaker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here are her measurements:<\/p>\n
Weight 20.94lbs., Height 31.5in., Head 17.72 in., Chest 18.5in., Feet 4.33in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We did a bit of comparing, and Lainey appears to be just about the same in size to Ethan at 18 months old, which means she is a little small for her age. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be taking 12 and 18 month size clothes and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re estimating her shoe size to be a 4 or 4.5.<\/p>\n
Another big step today\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we mailed off the next set of paperwork to our agency today AND sent off the paperwork\/our passports to order our Visas. We hope to see TA in about 2 weeks. Until then, I have a new picture to stare at (while I pack and do all the other zillion things on my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to-do\u00e2\u20ac\u009d list!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
